Royal Rumble 2023: WWE Has Huge Return Planned For January PLE

Royal Rumble 2023 is going to be the second premium live event in the 2023 calendar followed by the inaugural one, WWE Day 1. The company is always preparing for its next big events and this one is no different. Like always, this particular show will also kick things off for the Wrestlemania 39 season.

Fans of Texas have one more reason to get excited after having Wrestlemania 38 from their home turf as Royal Rumble 2023 has officially been announced from this state. The annual Big-Four event will take place in San Antonio, Texas Alamodome on Saturday, January 28th, 2023. It appears a massive return will be going down, that night.

According to Xero News, WWE Officials are expecting top WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes back for Royal Rumble 2023. The son of Old School WWF/NWA Legend ‘The American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes has currently been sitting out of action with an injury. He was last seen on WWE programming on the post-Hell in a Cell 2022 premium live event.

The timeframe for him to recover from the injury is six to nine months as the hope is there that Cody will be back in time for Wrestlemania 39. Also, during his appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con in July, Cody himself teased a return to the Royal Rumble 2023 PLE, as well,

“My Royal Rumble stats are top 10, they’re phenomenal. So if I was to come back at that event, there is a chance I could actually get up in the top 5 and I’m all about that. You never know! We’ll see.”

Cody Rhodes won the ESPY Award for WWE Moment Of The Year 2022, for his WrestleMania 38 return to the company. Ahead of the speculated Royal Rumble 2023 return, the former Legacy member also holds the 9th longest cumulative ring time in the Rumble matches.

The last Royal Rumble event to take place at The Alamodome was in 2017, where the likes of The Undertaker, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar competed in the Men’s Royal Rumble match to make it a star-studded night. WWE is seemingly excited about returning to the outdoor venue, once more.

“WWE is honored that Royal Rumble will serve as one of the cornerstones of the Alamodome’s 30th Anniversary celebration,” said WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John P. Saboor about Royal Rumble 2023. “We are thankful to Mayor Nirenberg, Steve Zito and the entire staff at the Alamodome who were essential in making this historic return to San Antonio possible.”
